InfoPath Dev

Hi Whizzy and welcome to the forum! You can copy the form to the 5 libraries and it will automatically shred the xsn and promote the columns, no problem. For the URL, you'll have to modify the manifest programmatically before publishing. There was recently a good article on the MSDN blog with some example code showing how to do this, but we should ...

Interesting idea. Printing is indeed one of the weakest features of InfoPath but the good news is that this is an often-requested feature area and I'm sure Microsoft will be improving it in future releases. Patrick Halstead [InfoPath MVP] InfoPathDev

There are ways to simulate Master Detail with a 2DS (Secondary Data Source) using OnContextChange event and using conditional visibility as Agni suggests. Either Greg has done this or it will pique his interest. I'll ask him. Patrick Halstead [InfoPath MVP] InfoPathDev

Hi Dr. Kropp and welcome to the board! It should be possible to do this using code, but I doubt there's some easy quick magic that will do it. If there was, we would have probably heard about it by now. Anyway, we can investigate writing a tool for this over the upcoming weekend. I'll put it on my list of research projects. Thanks for the great ...

Hi again, Double click the field in your data source (under the query section) that will trigger the lookup and add a rule that queries the data connection. Patrick Halstead [InfoPath MVP] InfoPathDev

Hi again, I think this is an xpath issue with your filter. You need to refer to the correct row in the DOM to get the filtering to reflect the current sibling. There are numerous posts on this issue for tables. I'll ask Agni if he has time to look up the xpath incantation. Regards, Patrick Halstead [InfoPath MVP] InfoPathDev

Hi Dewittg, Welcome back. How can you be in over your head? You just got started. You're in the shallow end but you can glimpse the 45 foot diving platform ahead and it makes you giddy with InfoPath enthusiasm, no? For me, I definitely am in over my head, but I'm trying to develop gills with some stem cells I stole from Greg Collins. Wish me ...

Hi Jo, This is difficult to do without writing code because of the limits of the data connection wizard. The Database Adapter that we sell (and provide free for download) is an example of a Web service that supports multiple tables and requires no code in the form. I think the main benefit of the Web service is the abstraction that it provides. ...

I have an infopath form that will be integrating with sql server and Sharepoint. I need to base my main data connection on two tables which means when I add or modify records, it needs to be done to the two tables. I have it working at the moment just using a database connection. When do I need to use a web service? Most documentation I have ...

I modified the return of the web service to include a field whose attribute will be the same as the query parameter . i.e something like this: - <result> - <option name=''dropdown2name''> <subresult>John Smith the 4th</subresult> <subresult>Ellen Ross</subresult> <subresult>John Smith the ...
